Each of them received a series of ten massage sessions, first of their back, and then of their leg, with a few-day-long break between the two massage series. Before and after each massage the blood pressure and pulse rate of the examined were measured. The research results indicate that an increase or decrease of the blood pressure, as well as any changes of the pulse rate following a massage session, depend on the part of the body which has been subjected to the massage treatment. The changes observed are not statistically significant. %K classic massage %K blood pressure %K pulse %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/d25l1j8h1552jr16/?p=0dd20c1137fa45bfaf3f7838634851b6&pi=1
